Software Engineer X 10 – Near Cambridge

Onsite | High-Growth AI Company | Prototype-to-Product Development

My client, a fast-growing AI company near Cambridge, is seeking talented Software Engineers to join a small but rapidly expanding development team. This is an exceptional opportunity to work across a wide variety of projects—from early-stage prototypes to fully developed products—helping to shape new technologies that solve complex, real-world challenges.

First and foremost, our client cares far more about intellect, aptitude, attitude, and problem-solving ability than specific knowledge or years of experience. The right people can learn new languages, frameworks, and technologies quickly, so experience is a bonus, not a requirement.

They always choose the right tool for the job, not the other way around—so technologies may evolve as products and capabilities grow.

If you are smart, curious, adaptable, and love solving difficult problems, this role is an excellent fit.

Key Responsibilities

• Designing and developing software for both prototype systems and production-grade products
• Working across multiple projects simultaneously and adapting to varied technical challenges
• Collaborating with multidisciplinary engineers to integrate software with hardware, sensors, and complex systems
• Rapidly learning and applying new technologies, tools, and approaches
• Contributing to problem-solving throughout the entire development lifecycle
• Supporting software used to control hardware platforms, custom devices, or sensor systems

Requirements

• Strong academic background (2:1 or above) in a STEM discipline
• Demonstrated ability to tackle complex or ambiguous technical problems
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Strong willingness and ability to learn new tools, languages, and technologies quickly
• Working knowledge of Python
• Experience interfacing software with hardware or embedded systems
• Familiarity with computer networking
• Experience with deep-learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch)
• Understanding of machine learning, optimisation, statistics, or algorithm development
• Experience developing mobile applications (iOS or Android)

Suitable for both graduates and experienced engineers with strong problem-solving skills and a desire to learn.
